Landprints : Reflections on Place and Landscape
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... replete with original insights, wisdom, charm, humour and a delight to read ... It should be read by all students at the start of their geographic education, and kept thereafter as a desk book to be picked up and browsed when they tire of study and wish to learn instead'. Australian Geographical Studies
'Landprints is a delightful book ... it deserves as wide an audience as possible.' Intercultural Studies
Book Description
This is a series of essays about the ways in which landscape is constructed, managed and designed. The essays attempt a synthesis that ranges from the physical and biophysical through land use to perception and cultural and linguistic analysis. The landscapes of Australia are challenging in that its culture, essentially European in origin, is both immensely enriching yet, because generated in an environment vastly different from that of Australia, disabling. This requires a dual allegiance and competing loyalties and demands, often difficult to resolve.
